In Act 2, Scene 4 of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," when Mercutio teases Romeo about slipping away from his friends the night before, Romeo responds with evasive and playful banter. He uses wordplay and double entendre to deflect Mercutio's teasing and maintain his secret marriage to Juliet. Romeo's responses showcase his wit and ability to navigate complex social situations.
